"In that case, aren't the women of your people going to be widowed collectively? It's not good for your race. Liu He looked at Ese Yin and said to him: "I don't think it's better to be like this, let you be the patriarch of Ese Yin, and marry those women in your clan to the soldiers and civilians of my Han Dynasty, and adopt those children under the age of three, in this way, your clan and my Han people are all one family, and there will naturally be no more mutual disbelief and even hatred for each other in the future, of course, this is also a suggestion of mine, Patriarch Ese Yin, you can also choose freely." ”

Hearing this, Ese Yin secretly smiled bitterly, now, what room for free choice is there? There was only a group of women left in their group, and there were five or six thousand of them, did he really want to make them all widowed? How unfair is this to those women? Even if the women didn't complain? But how can a tribe without men be safe? When the time comes, it will definitely become a fat sheep in the eyes of other tribes, and the final result can be imagined.

"What's more, our clan can still keep those children under the age of three because of this, although they will definitely become the adopted sons of the Han people in the future, and they will definitely erase all the memories of the clan in the future, but after all, they have lived, and the bloodline of our clan can be regarded as continuing, which is already the best result."

However, Ese Yin still wanted to fight for those older children, so he whispered: "Your Majesty's suggestion is indeed compassionate and reflects the demeanor of a generation of benevolent monarchs, but Xiao Lao'er wants to ask, those children between the ages of four and thirteen...... They're all kids after all......"

Speaking of this, Eseyin's face was full of pain, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Liu He also sighed when he heard this, and said slowly: "In this way, those children under the age of seven, if there are those who are willing to adopt, they can be allowed to adopt, and those over seven years old can be assigned as official slaves, join the craftsman register, learn the skills of craftsmen, and the court will pay them, they can also marry wives and have children, but they need to be craftsmen for generations, if there is really a good job among them, it is not that there is no hope of leaving the country, after leaving the country, they can be treated like ordinary people of my Han Dynasty." ”

"Thank you to the Son of Heaven for being so kind, the little old man is grateful, these children and women can be saved thanks to the grace of the Son of Heaven, and the little old man thanks the grace of the Son of Heaven on behalf of these children."

After Eseyin finished speaking, he didn't care about the prostrations here and bang, and his forehead was broken, and finally proposed to send his daughter Huo Zhuo Kasli to the palace to serve the Son of Heaven.

Liu He nodded and said, "Send her to the palace first, if she looks okay and is loyal enough, let her serve the queen." ”

"No! Thank you for the grace of the Son of Heaven, Xiao Lao'er will guarantee that my little girl will definitely satisfy the Son of Heaven in terms of appearance and temperament, as for loyalty, Your Majesty does not have to worry about this, how loyal Xiao Lao'er is to Your Majesty, how loyal my little daughter is to Your Majesty. After a few more prostrations, he stood up cheerfully, and then asked that a general be sent back to the clan with him to deal with the marriage of the women of the clan and to escort his daughter to Chang'an.

The most important thing is that Ese Yin is worried that other tribes will take the opportunity to invade his tribe, so he urgently asks to return, as for the request to send a general, on the one hand, it is natural to show his sincerity that he will not betray, and on the other hand, he also hopes to be able to protect his own tribe with the help of Han soldiers.

Liu He naturally knew about Eseyin's small abacus, but this was just a convenient thing for him, and it didn't take much effort at all, so he assigned Li Tong to lead 3,000 cavalry to escort Eseyin to the tribe of the Dzungar tribe.

After dealing with the matter of Ese Yin, Liu He went out again to calm the people and comfort the people.

However, this made all the Han people, including Liu He, break their morale, because it was only less than a month, more than half of the Han people in the city were slaughtered, and almost all the valuable goods in the city were looted, even the big families were no exception, especially young women, but every little bit of grace was robbed, Liu He only seized a mountain of gold, silver and jade silk in the "Turkic Golden Tent" where Jieli Khan lived, and there were hundreds of young women tied together in the tent. The women were unclothed and looked sluggish, obviously insulted by the beasts.

Liu He was very hurt in his heart, and ordered the sergeant to take food and clothing, give them to those poor women, and apologize to them with tears, all because of his own reasons, let these people suffer such a crime, and swear here that those beasts must be completely exterminated, and justice will be given to these suffering people!

Later, Liu He sent those gold, silver and jade silks back to the owner, and at the same time ordered the release of grain to help the victims.

"These hateful barbarians have brought such a terrible disaster to our people, and we must not let them go this time!" The soldiers all gritted their teeth and asked for battle in unison.

Seeing the indignation of the crowd, Liu He knew that now was the best time to send troops, so he ordered Ma Chao to lead the people of his headquarters, and sent Diao Yue'e and his headquarters to Ma Chao's command, and ordered him to lead the army under his command to recover the entire Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

After this, Liu He decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue the fleeing enemy army, especially focusing on chasing and killing the Qiang people.

Although Li Yuanhao's own combat power is relatively low, this person is very cunning and murderous, and the damage caused to the Han people is no less than that of the Turks.

In fact, Liu He had already prepared for the hunt and killing of the Qiang people this time, but now there was one thing that distressed him, that is, the main general who guarded Wuwei.

Under his command, the only candidates who are now capable and qualified to defend Wuwei City are Chen Zhi, Li Yan, Xu Huang and Xun You, and these four are important arms for him to go out to fight against the Qiang people, and they cannot be replaced at all, and in addition to these two people, Wang Yanzhang, Wang Yanlong, Xue Jinlian, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others Although they were all fierce generals at that time, there was no problem in charging into battle, but they were more than brave, not calm enough, and they were even more than capable of dealing with internal affairs.

At this moment, I saw a report from the soldiers: "Your Majesty, Fu Cunxian and Li Sizhao ask to see." ”

"Oh? The two of them came up at this time, could it be that something was wrong? Could it be? Liu He's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said secretly: "I hope I won't guess wrong, so I will have the right candidate." ”

So Liu He ordered Xuan Fu to be reviewed and Li Sizhao to meet him.
